Following the example My::Exception class I created (cut and pasted) it 
into a local class, which I am use-ing in a BEGIN block in my startup 
file. However, on startup I receive the following warning:

Prototype mismatch: sub CORE::GLOBAL::die: none vs (@) at 
/usr/local/apache2/conf/startup.pl line 28

I am using Perl 5.8.4 on Gentoo Sparc.

I am trying to write an error handler to log the stacktrace, display a 
custom error page on the user's browser and terminate the request. Could 
someone, please, show a skeleton of how to extend the My::Exception 
class to do this?

Any comments/insights would be greatly appreciated.
